HELP University was founded in 1986 by its President, Paul Chan Tuck Hoong, and CEO Chan-Low Kam Yoke to provide affordable quality educational opportunities for deserving students from Malaysia and around the world.

It has since developed into a leading institution of higher learning in Malaysia with an international reputation among universities, research organisations, scholars, business, corporate leaders, and governments. HELP University offers a wide and diverse range of programmes covering business, law, management, economics, IT, the social sciences, and the humanities at undergraduate and graduate levels.

HELP University is located in two campuses, one in Damansara Heights, and the other in Subang Bestari.

The university was awarded the Premier Digital Tech University (PDTU) status in 2019 by the Malaysian Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), a Malaysian government owned institution. The status is a recognition that HELP University is one of Malaysia’s leading digital tech focussed tertiary institutions.

To prepare for the future, HELP is transforming to become an Analytics-Driven Entrepreneurial University.  HELP’s effort is recognised by MDEC which conferred the Premier Digital Tech University (PDTU) Award to HELP in 2019.  HELP also received the specific MDEC Recognition for the Faculties of Business, Economics and Accounting (FBEA) and Computing and Digital Technology (FCDT) and for the Certificate Training in Data Science for students.

BUSINESS ANALYTICS AND TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION CENTRE (BATIC)

HELP invested RM25 million in the Business Analytics and Technology Innovation Centre (BATIC) which would be used to innovate and incubate techno-entrepreneurship. The Phase 4.1 expansion of HELP’s Subang 2 campus, incorporating the signature Green-Digital Technology Campus, has commenced. Besides using analytics to drive our management and teaching, HELP is also building its research capability in analytics application, with part of the research grant from the Ministry of Education and internal funding allocated for analytics research.

HELP collaborated with Bloomberg in setting up the largest Bloomberg Finance Lab in Malaysia to boost the economics, business, financial and analytics training in our FBEA, the ELM Graduate School and the FCDT.  Additionally, HELP has internship collaborations with AI companies and techno-entrepreneurs.
